Text Atlas

Any text can be represented as a network where words are the nodes and their co-occurrences are the connections between them. The resulting structure conflates time, making the text happen at once, revealing the pathways and traces it makes to inscribe itself into the real. The structure of the text merges with the content to communicate the distances and the gaps in-between.

The images presented below are the translations of texts into network graphs made using the methodology and the tool that I developed as part of my research in polysingularity of text and meaning.

polysingularity_selectedtexts_infranodus-flow-notion — Texts from The Flow and the Notion book by Dmitry Paranyushkin

polysingularity_mind_viral_immunity_infranodus

alice-wonderland-square — 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll

byron-darkness — 'Darkness' by Lord Byron

nabokov-lolita-text-network — 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov

tolstoy — 'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy

polysingularity_quaran_fuller_infranodus-curve — Quran, verses 1 to 286

If you would like to get an alu-dibond print of one of the text above or any other text that somehow resonates, please, contact me via my personal e-mail. You can also use this approach to construct your own text network images using the tool I’ve developed: InfraNodus.Com.
